New investigation into the illness that has affected some 200 people for several years sheds new light. that point to Russia as one of the direct culprits, just as in the times of the Cold War.
The Cuban Government and the Kremlin reject the information published by the independent Russian media 'The Insider' in collaboration with the German 'Der Spiegel' and the American program '60 Minutes' The first people affected in Cuba were two diplomats who said they had suffered “sonic attacks” on November 25, 2016, the day of Fidel Castro's death. Between May 2016 and September 2017, several diplomats in Cuba claimed to have experienced symptoms such as dizziness, intense ringing in the ears or difficulty in concentrating. The attacks on American diplomats were the main pretext for Donald Trump's administration to withdraw most of the staff from its embassy in Havana. Since then, Cubans must carry out most of their consular procedures in third countries. But so far the causes or the person responsible for what is also called AHI (Anomalous Health Incidents) are unclear.
